    New DTV Subscriber Install Question

    So I got ahold of directv and they said I could have anyone install it. My question is, does the free installation only work if you go through the people they send out? Our should I still get it even if I go to someone else? Thanks Brandon Sent from my SGH-T959V using SatelliteGuys

    New DTV Subscriber Install Question

    Now since i ordered my stuff online, can i call the independent installer and have him set the install himself? Or does it have to be through the people DirecTV set the install with? I really don't want to have to cancel another account and set it up again with a store here to get this done...

    New DTV Subscriber Install Question

    So just to update everyone on whats going on, i rescheduled a second opinion. Still haven't actually talked to anyone in person at my residents. Installer office told me there have been 3 people to my apt. Haven't seen any of them. Was told there is still no LOS on the phone. Asked if they could...

    New DTV Subscriber Install Question

    I checked out the 119 on the azimuth, and it looks like the only possible way i get this done, and save myself $800 over the next 10 months, is to have the base sit on my patio, and attempt to get them to put the satellite on an angle, over my patio wall about 2 feet. Thats how far away i am...

    New DTV Subscriber Install Question

    I used the directv site and typed in my zip code and it gave me the Azimuth and elevation. Went outside with a compass on my phone and lined everything up. The Azimuth that the web site gives me is to the southEAST of me. If this is the case, and i can actually get the installer office to call...

    New DTV Subscriber Install Question

    New DTV Subscriber Install Question

    Yah i would have to do something similar. I could have the base be in my personal space on my patio and just run a longer pole up above the roof of the complex and get signal up there. The only sticky thing is going to be tethering it to a spot up above my apartment so it doesn't sway haha...

    New DTV Subscriber Install Question

    Who would i contact to get a second opinion? The installer said the order was on hold and i would have to call Directv to get the paperwork sent out again. I think the problem is that my patio faces east, and my building is blocking the satellite from the southwest. I was thinking about doing...

    Yah I knew I would have to pay for the pole stuff. But the installer said he couldn't find the right satellite, only the left. So I don't get it afterall. Which really irritates me. Sent from my SGH-T959V using SatelliteGuys

    LOS

    Hey guys, so i have my installation set up for tuesday. I live in an apartment and my dish would have to be set up on a tripod or something as long as it isn't attached to the building. If you are standing in my patio, looking towards the south, this is my view. Does this look ok for...
